Joy is responsible for the strategic direction of the Archives Hub, and negotiating the funding and stakeholder environment. She works with her team to ensure the service is continuously improving and adapts for the future, scrutinising how the service fits into the broader digital information environment. Part of her work involves developing proposals, initiating new projects, and collaborating with stakeholders across the sector – from local cultural heritage institutions to national bodies such as The National Archives, the British Library, and JISC.
Joy has a diverse range of experience, with fifteen years experience teaching and research at the University level. She lived in the USA for this time, and it was at Michigan State University that she got involved in Digital Humanities project development and management.
This combined experience gives her unique insights into the needs of researchers and educators, as well as the complexities of delivering online services. She is committed to the development of technology to help such users carry out their work in as effective and rewarding a manner as possible.
